LINGUISTIC APPROACH IN SLA

LINGUISTIC APPROACH IN SLA

1. INTERNAL FOCUS

   • Error Analysis (Corder 1970s)
     • Errors as learner's hability to construct language
     • Comparison between errors and the TL itself
     • Errors: Systematic, Not recognized by the learner
     • Mistakes: Recognized by the learner, one-time event
     • Mentalism (Chomsky)
       • Language is a rule-governed behavior ≠ imitation
   • Interlanguage (Selinker 1972)
     • Intermediate states of a learner's language
       • As it moves towards the TL
     • Systematic, Dynamic, Variable
     • Fossilization may occur
   • Morpheme Order Studies (Dulay and Burt)
     • Natural order in L2 development
       • Universal sequence
   • Monitor Model (Krashen)
     • Acquisition/ Learning Hypothesis
     • Natural Order Hypothesis
     • Monitor Hypothesis
     • Input Hypothesis
     • Affective Filter Hypothesis
     • Adapts the Language Acquistion Device

2. Contrastive Analysis Hypothesis (Lado)

   • Strong view
     • Make predictions about
       • Success in L2 learning
         • Positive & Negative transfer
   • Compares 2 languages
     • Sound system
     • Morphology
     • Syntax & Semantics
     • Culture
   • Weak View
     • Contrasts L2 errors with the L1
       • To avoid mistakes
   • Behaviorism
     • Stimulus- Response-Reinforcement
